Chucky Jeffery continues putting up impressive individual numbers, but the Colorado senior is only worried about what those numbers mean in the big picture.

On Friday night, Jeffery had another brilliant game for the 21st-ranked Buffaloes, leading them to a much-needed 61-47 victory against Oregon State on Friday night at Coors Events Center.

Jeffery finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds, moving into 10th place on CU's all-time scoring list and posting the 26th double-double of her career.

"It does (mean a lot), but at the end of the day, I'm just glad that my team won," she said. "I just do what I can to help my team get a win. I guess all that comes with it, but I'm happy that's happening."

The Buffs (17-5, 6-5 Pac-12) matched their conference win total from last year and moved one game closer to a coveted top-four spot in the standings. The Buffs are two games behind Washington (16-6, 8-3) for fourth place. The top four teams get a first-round bye for the Pac-12 Tournament.

"Getting that first round bye in the tournament is a good thing," junior guard Brittany Wilson said. "At least it's one game off."

If Jeffery and the Buffs continue playing the way they have been, they have a good chance to get into the top four.

Jeffery scored 16 of her points after halftime, added a season-high three blocks and had just one turnover in 35 minutes of play.

"I just think that there were certain ways that they were guarding and they were giving me certain things that I liked, so I kept being aggressive and getting to the rim as much as I could and shooting the ball and coming off of screens," she said.

Head coach Linda Lappe has grown used to seeing that type of effort from Jeffery, but still appreciates it every time.

"Her all-around game tonight was outstanding," Lappe said. "The best thing she did was to keep our team calm and keep them confident. At no point did she ever get rattled."

That was important because Oregon State wasn't easy to put away. Freshman Jamie Weisner had 22 points and seven rebounds to keep the Beavers (9-14, 3-8) in the game throughout the night.

Weisner scored 11 points in a 31/2-minute span of the second half, including a three-point play and two 3-pointers, to pull the Beavers within 39-34 with 13:55 to go.

"She's plays so hard, she's physical, she never quits," Lappe said of Weisner. "She's a tough matchup for anybody in the league, so you've got to give her a lot of credit and she kept them in the game."

After Weisner got the Beavers within five, CU responded with a 12-2 run to take its biggest lead of the game, 51-36 with 8:04 to play.

Jen Reese sparked that run with four straight points and then Jeffery had six in a row. That included a 3-pointer from the senior point guard that put her over the 1,500-point mark for her career and moved her into a temporary tie with Erin Carson (1984-88) for 10th place on CU's all-time list. Jeffery broke that tie with a free throw a few moments later.

Oregon State rallied, but never got any closer than seven points the rest of the way, because CU had yet another stellar game on defense.

The Buffs forced 24 turnovers and held an opponent below 50 points for the ninth time this season. That ties a school record for one season and is the highest total since the 2002-03 team (which featured Lappe as a senior) also held nine opponents below 50.

"Any time we can hold a team under 50, that's a great thing to do," said Wilson, who had seven points, five steals and four rebounds. "We're one of the nation's best defensive teams. We all take a lot of pride in that."

Reese, an Oregon native, had 10 points, six rebounds and three steals for the Buffs, who improved to 16-0 against unranked teams.

"They're a feisty team and they never stopped," Reese said. "We knew that going in. It was an up and down game, but overall we did a great job."
